Students who have not received a copy should call at Mvers hall.
CHANCELLOR GREETS NEW STUDENTS
The fact that Alfred Waddel, editor of the 1914 Jayhawkward, tendered his resignation to Dan Hazen, presiding judge of the court for a week, does not mean that no book will be issued for the class. The case remains under consideration on the part of the class.
Paul Royer has submitted to the officers of the class the outline of a plan for training all staff worked out in detail by a committee composed of Paul Ross, Alfred Wadhams, and Thomas L. Bunting. The proposed plan when completed will probably be submitted not only to the Student Council for its sanctioning also to the Board of Administration.

Dan Hazen, president of the class,
stated this morning that the plan
when compiled would be to have him
be notifiable of the book, but

however, will be done in this direction
until the candidates can be assured of the proper backing and sup-

WILL CAPS BE WORN?
"NO ACTION""--DODO
Men's Council President Says Matter Is Not Yet Settled
Leslie Dodd, president of the Men's Student Council, denied this morning ing that the council would oppose the recommendations of the University Council that Freshmen should not be compelled to wear cans this year.
"We have taken no official action," he said, "and our attitude remains to be decided." According to Dodd, the stories he has been circulated to stakeholders are effect that the matter is without foundation. The council may oppose the University Council, and may carry the matter to the attorney general. If they would admit nothing, "I have absolutely nothing to say about the matter," Dodd said, "and the council took no action." Dodd admitted, "the matter came up for discussion."
A part of the recommendations made by the University Council to the University should announce that the University is to be advised by the Men's Student Association to rely heavily on this principle before the question of authority for dealing with matters of discipline during the school year of 1913-14 shall be de-
When asked what his council would do if the University Council disapproves when the action is announced, Dodd again had nothing to say.
Unless the Board of Administration, in case it is appealed to reverses the policy assumed by the University Council, it is likely that faculty members will not be entitled to wear caps, for a further provision of the faculty recommendation says: "That for any representative body of students to impose upon any class degree, mark or idea of clothing, is contrary to ideal of the University."
Professors Favor New Spelling
That the proposed form of simplified spelling will secure the support of the majority of the faculty is apparent from the returns of the faculty. A possessive entry number of the faculty have endorsed the plan, and forty have expressed themselves against the change. Approximately fifty letters of inquire have not yet been heard from.
Oread Debaters Will Meet
The Oread Debating club will hold its first debate Monday evening, with Bryan on the left and Secretary Bryan should not take time from his governmental duties. The other officers, Ennis and Hale will take the offense at Latimer and Anderson the negative.

STOP STUDENT EVILS ADVISES CHANCELLOR
Dr. Strong Opposes Extravagance at University in Opening Chapel
GIRLS MUST SET THE PACE
Women Students Have Major Influence, He Says—Lack of Traditions Will Be a Help
"More than ever before extravagance in dress is in evidence this year and I hope a stop may be put to it here and in the country at large. The girls of the University especially are the ones who should take this to heart, for they set the pace for us." - Jillian Taylor, Student Union, and Unity Needed
Extravagance in dress, morals, the irresponsibility of student government, lax honor among student leaders, dramatics, the wide disparity of student interests and a serious aim back of student life were earnestly displayed. Students are sent annual address to new students in chapel this morning, as follows:
Student Union And Unity Needed
"Student unity and a Students' Union are a need, and we never know if a dejection of people are so strongly individual as are the students at this University. This marked individualism can be overcome by a unification of student interests, and I hope that by this time we will have made great advancement in this get-together movement.
Lax Honor In Leaders Deplored
When the student body putts its
trust in the teacher, the
mortality of that trust and respond to the
responsibility which he takes upon
"There are too many student activities besides study, which is the primary object of this institution. It has been said that athletics interfered too much with our study, but it has also increased with interference more with intellectual advancement than athletics, especially dramatics.
Lack of Traditions Helplin
"This is the year beyond all other years, a time when we self control, fairness. The nine hundred new students who are here this fall are fortunate in not being held down by old traditions such as exists in older institutions. The world is open to us and we may change."
"More serious than ever are the dangers that are threatening the morals of the University. I wish we did not have to accept them, but it is hard to bring false ideals of conduct. With the women of this University, more than any one else, lies the solution of this problem. You must not allow will no longer be tolerated."
Before the Chancellor's speech Miss Cora Reynolds, instructor in the Music Department at the exercises this morning nor will any be read in chapel hereafter, all announcements being made made by Kelly Hansen and on bulletin boards.
